Story:
THE FBI WON'T COMMENT ABOUT PENDING INVESTIGATIONS, BUT THE I-TEAM HAS LEARNED THE BUREAU HAS BEEN LOOKING INTO ZETA PHI BETA? AND IS WORKING WITH THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, WHICH ALSO DOES NOT CONFIRM OR DENY INVOLVEMENT IN PENDING CASES. adding machine/lots of documents/barbara moore photo
THE FEDERAL SCRUTINY RUNS PARALLEL WITH THE I-TEAM'S MONTH-LONG INVESTIGATION, UNCOVERING QUESTIONABLE SPENDING BY THE SORORITY'S INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT BARBARA MOORE.
RECORDS INDICATE THAT MOORE USED ZETA PHI BETA'S CORPORATE CREDIT CARD TO PURCHASE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF ITEMS THAT APPEAR TO BE PERSONAL.
DESIGNER CLOTHING. FINE JEWELRY. MENS AND BOYS CLOTHING. EVEN LINGERIE? EXTRAVAGANT PURCHASES THAT ANGERED ONE SORORITY SISTER TO THE POINT OF EXAGERATION.
Sorority member #1: "If it could be bought, it's on there. If it could be rented, it's on there. If it could be paid for with a credit card. It's on there."
(financial procedures manual)
THAT'S NOT ONLY A VIOLATION OF THE SORORITY'S FINANCIAL PROCEDURES, IT APPEARS TO BE A CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE IRS TAX CODE, WHICH PROHIBITS ANY INDIVIDUAL FROM BENEFITTING FROM THEIR CONNECTION TO A NON-PROFIT.
Sorority member #2: "This is wrong. You can't paint it with any other brush. It's wrong. It's illegal."
Michael Sanders/Tax Attorney: "Every one of these items needs to be reviewed by an independent professional."
D.C. TAX ATTORNEY MICHAEL SANDERS.
Michael Sanders/Tax Attorney: "This is highly unusual. Obviously."
ALSO UNUSUAL AND POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL IS THE BOARD'S DECISION TO ALLOW MOORE TO PAY BACK SOME OF THE MONEY SHE SPENT... OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.
Sheryl Underwood, Chair, National Executive Board: "THE BOARD'S ONLY COMMENT SO FAR: AN ADMISSION THAT "ZETA -HAS- NEEDED TO IMPROVE INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS."
Andrea McCarren on set:
ALTHOUGH THE IRS WON'T DISCUSS ANY OF ITS INVESTIGATIONS, SOURCES TELL US THE TAX AGENCY IS NOW TAKING A CLOSE LOOK AT ZETA PHI BETA AND WHETHER IT'S PAID WHAT IT OWES TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
ALSO MONITORING THIS SITUATION IS BARBARA MOORE'S EMPLOYER, BENEDICT COLLEGE IN SOUTH CAROLINA? WHERE SHE SUPERVISES ALL OF THE SCHOOL'S FUNDRAISING.
